THE TARIFF PROBLEM.
Republican Representative 60 Propose
a Substitute Bill I'm the HOuue.

The republicans in the House have been holding
normal consultations upon the tartH question
and talking the matter over generally to see how
they stand. Mr.. Reed, Mr.. Kelley. Mr.. Mckinley
and others have been going about among those
members as to whom they were in doubt and
taking soun6ings with the view Of securing har-
monious action They have gradually pared their
proposition down from what they would like It to
be, to make 1t acceptable to their members who
lean toward kariff reform, until they have got IL
down to where they think they can all agree. They
have decided to meet any proposition brought for
ward by the democrats with one OF their own, which
they will propose as q substitute. They have not
definitely AMI finally decided upon the character
or this substitute, as to every matter Of detail,
and they cannot until they learn more OF what the
democrats are going to propose They win shortly
hold more formal conference for q nnal adoption
OF the plan. AS IL stands now 1t is uncertain
whether or Lot they will propose TO take the tax
on sugar. They have agreed as to tobacco, but
they still have some things TO consider before set
ting the question as 10 sugar. They ind 1t
dangerous to attempt to travel far ON the tar16
road. But the leaders have been forced TO the
conclusion that they must have some proposition
to stand on.

the RaiIroaA Conspamy 20 the Secrs.
tary Of War.
The Secretary OF War has received q communi.
cation from the o1cers OF the Baltimore and Poto-
mac Railroad Company Offering a compromise in
settlement OF the dispute between the railroad
company and the United States officials about the
erection of pier for the proposed bridge over the
Eastern Branch. The original plan on which the
existing contract was based provided for through
span from the washington shore 81 feet long, I'm.
DER which the railroad tracks as now located, and
the remaining spans across the water to the deck
spans The railroad company objected to the frst
pier for the through span being built so close TO
Their tracks hence the controversy. The offer or
the railroad company to tie Secretary of War will
II approved, remove the matter from the courts
trouble.
THE PLAN OF THE RAILROAD COMPANY.
IL Is suggested by the railroad company that in
stead OF building but one through span, the Gov
eminent make the first three spans from the
washington shore OF that character, enabling the
company 10 carry their tracks under the second
and third on trestle work and embankment. The
through span has the supports above the bridge
proper While the supports Of the deck span extend
iIom the piers below the bridge. In the former
traVei Is through the bridge and in the latter
IL. Inc railroad tracks could not run under deck
The company asks that the third span be q through
span because 1t is intended run four tracks Into
tne city instead OF two and II will be necessary TO
nave more room than would be otherwise Afforded.
Inc company stipulates that the space between
Ine tracks and the bridge shall be nineteen feet.
Il the plan proposed meets with the approval OF
Ine secretary 0f.War the company will, the COM
municatlCn says, enter at once into negotiations
Win tne contractor, with view OF meeting oil the
expenses caused BY change In the plans OF the
bridge. The Secretary OF War has referred the
matter TO Col. Hams for report. The oIer Of the
railroad company meets with approval Of officials
at the war department., but the Secretary Will
take no action until he has been informed II the
proposed changes viii in any way interfere with
the construction OF the bridge beyond the add.

BALTIMORE, Dec l6.-The first matter that occu-

Cigarrnakers' Union of California, urging the
some measure that will efrectuaily put an end to
the importation Of Chinese cheap labor. The let

and the convention RESUMED consideration OF the

A discussion as to The best method Of financially

whether or not local unions should be compelled
to form themselves into state declarations and

Importance OF the formation OF local organizations
atfiiiatiOn with the American Federation OF
Labor. The discussion developed u decidedly
antagonistc spirit toward the methods res0rted to
by the Knights OF Labor TO increase their rep
resentation in state and national conventions,
and the federation arranged itself against
the older order in firmly standing by
Its avowed purpose OF alowins each miner organi-

necessity OF providing salaried organizer to

and the various industries represented In
reason for not establishing such an Office. as
II was believed that no one man would cofnpre-
bend the needs or the different trades sufficiently
well to make his services effective. and an amend
ment was agreed to permitting the federation TO
employ such special organizers as they may tenn
